Cristiano Ronaldo claims that Manchester United has “betrayed” him and that he is being ejected from the team.
In August, Ronaldo made a commitment to share his perspective on life at Old Trafford after failing to move on from Manchester United to a team competing in the Champions League as he had intended.
The seasoned Portuguese has now spoken up in a lengthy interview with Piers Morgan on TalkTV.
An answer to Ronaldo’s allegations has been requested from Manchester United.
In manager Ten Hag’s first season in command, United, who defeated Fulham 2-1 on Sunday, are sixth in the Premier League.
When asked once more if senior club officials were attempting to have him evicted, the 37-year-old said, “I don’t care.
The truth should be heard by everyone.“Yes, not only this year but also last year, I felt deceived and that certain people didn’t want me here.
Ronaldo claims that he does not respect Ten Hag.
Ronaldo hasn’t played since he led United in their 3-1 loss at Aston Villa on November 6 due to an unidentified ailment.
Following his refusal to enter the game as a substitute against Tottenham three days prior, Ten Hag benched him for the Premier League match against Chelsea last month.
Ronaldo said to Morgan, “I don’t respect him because he doesn’t respect me.
“I’ll never have respect for you if you don’t have respect for me.”
Over the course of two evenings on Wednesday and Thursday, the interview will air.
Additionally, Ronaldo discusses with Morgan the passing of his infant son in April and the touching homage the Liverpool supporters gave to him during a match against the Manchester United in the days that followed at Anfield.
The entire 90-minute interview is available online, but Morgan wrote a summary for the Sun newspaper in which Ronaldo makes it very plain how little regard he has for how United has treated him since his triumphant comeback to the team in August 2021.
He continues, “I think the supporters ought to know the truth.
“I want the club to succeed.
I travel to Manchester United for this reason.
“Since [previous manager] Sir Alex Ferguson went, I didn’t see any progress in the team,” the fan said.
Nothing was different.
“I adore Manchester United, and I love the supporters because they support me no matter what.
However, if they wish to approach it differently, they will need to make several changes.
Ronaldo claims that Ferguson, who played a crucial role in bringing him back to Old Trafford from Juventus when it looked like he may join Manchester City, shares his opinion of the team.
He is the best person to recognize that the club is not moving in the direction they should be,” Ronaldo continued.
He is aware.
Everyone is aware.
Those who fail to notice that
it’s because they are blind and refuse to see.
The name Rangnick was unknown to Ronaldo.
When Ronaldo returned to the club, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, a former teammate, was in charge before being succeeded by Ralf Rangnick and later by Ten Hag, who is now in charge.
“If you’re not even a coach, how are you going to be the manager of Manchester United?” Ronaldo said of Rangnick.
I was completely unaware of him.
This season, Ronaldo, a former United teammate, has come under fire for his actions from both Wayne Rooney and the ex-England striker.
“I don’t understand his harsh criticism of me…
Probably because I’m still competing at a high level and he concluded his career,” remarked Ronaldo.
I won’t claim that I look better than he does.
Which is accurate.
